    Is Botox Ruining Movies? Exploring the Effects of Cosmetic Procedures on Hollywood

    A lot of our favourite stars are looking… different. This year, Anne Hathaway is starring in 5 films. And though she is 43 years old, you may mistake her for the 23 years she had when filming the first instalment of Devil Wears Prada. You'll have spotted it in other 2026 trailers too: Ryan Gosling in Project Mary, Emily Blunt in Disclosure Day, Margot Robbie in Wuthering Heights... These days, it's harder and harder to spot a fully natural face. The culprit? Cosmetic procedures like botox and facelifts. So what are the implications for the art created? And what is the impact on the audiences? In this deep dive episode, we'll look at the growing trend of these cosmetic procedures, discussing how much it may be impacting cinema, as well as those in front of the screens. Includes short clips from: - Fearne Cotton's Happy Place with Kate Winslet - Frances McDormand Press Interview
